https://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/basics/inheritance/Dr. Anderson enters the lab and purchases a breeding pair of flies. He chose a mutant vestigial winged male with a wild type (i.e. standard) female, and notice the resulting distribution of phenotypes.Describe the process of hatching new flies.What percentage of the F1 generation is male and female?To breed two of the F1 generation: he selected a male and a female from the results of your first cross and put them in the breeding jar. Describe and explain the characteristics of the second generation (F2) flies.4. What ratio do you see between dominant and recessive genes? What is the inheritance pattern?Virtual Lab 1: Genetics IA. Drosophila LabBefore attempting this lab you may want to revisit the difference between traits inherited through the simple dominance (Mendelian) pattern versus sex-linked traits. The latter are traits encoded by genes present in the female sex chromosome (X).https://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/disorders/Introduction: 2-3 paragraphs introducing the biological concepts covered in the lab, including references to sources. Last paragraph of introduction should contain 2-3 sentences introducing the lab design. 50 pointsMethods: 2-3 paragraphs detailing the methods that you used to perform the lab. Do not cut and copy these from the lab manual. Write these in sentence form and do not use numbers or bullet pointed lists. Include every detail you performed so that the reader would be able to perform the lab exactly as you did if they were trying to repeat it. Include pictures/diagrams where necessary. 50 points.Results: 2-3 paragraphs summarizing the results of the experiment. Use the Lab manual as a guide for the type of information to include here. Create figures (bar plots, scatterplots, etc) in Microsoft Excel from the completed tables from the Lab manual. Do not insert the tables from the Lab manual into the document, as I expect further synthesis of these results. Insert pictures of the completed experiment. 50 pointsDiscussion & Conclusion: 2-3 paragraphs discussing the results of the experiment, what the results mean, and how they relate to the biological concept under study. Reference outside sources where appropriate. Discuss 2-3 errors while avoiding the term human error. (https://www2.southeastern.edu/Academics/Faculty/rallain/plab193/labinfo/Error_Analysis/05_Random_vs_Systematic.html) Include a paragraph on your experience and impressions of the lab and what you learned. 50 points.References: Include properly formatted references and in-text citations. A minimum of three sources are required. See https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/01/.25 points.Lab Manuals give the background and directions for the experiments for your Midterm and Final Lab Reports. They are pdf files so you will need Adobe Reader or Acrobat to view them. You should be able to view the manuals by clicking on the appropriate file name under Week 1 and Week 3. If the file does not appear in the browser after a few minutes, then right-click the hypertext file name, select “Save Target As”, and then save to your computer. Once saved, you should be able to open the file. If you are having difficulties, email me, or emailsplhelpdesk@nu.edu early in the course.Virtual Labs In addition to the Midterm and Final Lab Reports, there are ‘Virtual Labs’ that take advantage of the important realm of simulation in scientific education and research. These online labs can be found in the tab entitled Virtual Labs under each Week.
